The Arnolfini Portrait is an oil painting on oak
panel executed in 1434 by Jan van Eyck, a master of Early Netherlandish
painting. Among other titles, it is also know as "The Arnolfini
Wedding", The Arnolfini Marriage", "The Arnolfini Double
Portrait", or the "Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his
wife". This painting is believed to be a portrait of Giovanni di
Nicolao Arnolfini and his wife in a room, presumably in their home in the
Flemish city of Bruges. It is considered one of the most orginial and
complex paintings in Western art history. Being both signed and dated by
Van Eyck in 1434, it is, with the Ghent Altarplace by the same artist and
his brother Hubert, the oldest very famous panel painting to have been
executers in oils rather than in tempera. The painting was brought by the
National Gallery in London in 1842.

The Annuciation is, in Christianity, the revelation
to Mary, the mother of Jesus by the angel Gabriel that she would concieve a
child to be born the son of God. Some Christian churches celebrate this
event, whichh happened in "the sixth monther", with the feast of
the Annunication on March 25, which as the incarnation is nine months
before Christmas. The date of the Annunciation is also marked the New Year
in many places, including England, where it is called Lady Day. Both Roman
Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churchers hold that the Annunciation took
place at Nazareth, but differ as to the precise location. The Church of the
Annunciation marks the site preferred by the former, while the Greek
Orthodox Church of the Annunciation marks that of the latter.
